Description

  The present invention relates to a technique used in a slitter line for continuously cutting a wide metal strip coil base material into a plurality of strips along the longitudinal direction of the strip and rewinding it. The present invention relates to a multi-strip endless belt-type strip winding tension applying device that applies an appropriate and uniform winding tension to all slit strips of multiple strips.

The structure of the belt pressing portion is the case of any of Patent Nos. 2051421, 3767930, 3974714, and U.S. Pat. No. 3,735,937, which are the prior arts of our multi-strip endless belt type winding tension applying device. The cooling water cavities are provided as an integrated structure directly above the upper belt pressing body and directly below the lower belt pressing body, respectively, and the cooling water is provided outside. It has a completely sealed box structure for circulation by a pump. In addition, when a wide metal coil is slit into a plurality of strips and wound, the slit strip is sandwiched from above and below via an endless belt in order to apply an equal and appropriate tension to each strip. A vertical reinforcing plate is configured inside the cavity of the box structure so as to minimize the bending of the pressing body, and the reinforcing plate also serves as a heat sink in contact with the cooling water in the cavity and has a strong structure. It has become.
This multi-strip endless belt type belt take-up tension applying device is a special belt made of different materials and laminated so that there is a difference in friction coefficient between the front and back. At the same time, the slit belt is tensioned by the relative frictional resistance between the inner surface of the endless belt and the pressing surface of the pressing body, and most of the work of generating the tension is generated by frictional heat. The temperature of the metal pressing surface is increased. If this frictional heat is not removed efficiently, the temperature of the pressing surface will rise, and the endless belt composed of synthetic fiber material and synthetic resin material will be damaged by heat and become unusable. Therefore, it is necessary to remove it efficiently and suppress the temperature rise of the pressing surface of the pressing body.

In order to prevent overheating that would damage the endless belt and enable continuous operation, the cooling water chamber is located directly above and below the pressing surface, and a plurality of reinforcing plates that also serve as heat sinks are placed inside it. By circulating the cooling water, the cooling water is effectively brought into contact with the heat radiating plate, and the frictional heat generated by the sliding friction between the pressing surface of the pressing body and the inner surface of the belt is continuously removed.
For the two purposes of efficiently transmitting frictional heat generated on the pressing surface of the pressing body to the cooling water chamber and minimizing the bending of the pressing body, the structure of this pressing body is a belt as can be seen from the prior art. It has become common knowledge to configure the pressing surface in contact with the inner surface and the cooling water chamber into an integral and sealed box structure. That is, the frictional heat is generated on the upper and lower belt inner surfaces sandwiched between the upper and lower pressing bodies and the upper and lower pressing surfaces, and most of the heat of the metal having higher thermal conductivity than the endless belt made of synthetic resin material. It moves to the back surface side of the pressing surface via the pressing surface, and further moves to the cooling water in contact with the back surface side of the pressing surface and the reinforcing plate that also serves as the heat sink.
In order to transmit this frictional heat to the cooling water as efficiently as possible, the thinner the thickness between the pressing surface and the back side of the pressing surface in contact with the cooling water, the more effective, but the deflection of the upper and lower pressing bodies is minimized. It is also necessary to have a thickness that gives uniform surface pressure over the entire pressing surface to generate a uniform frictional force, or a thickness that allows for a polishing allowance for repairing the pressing surface when worn due to friction described below, It is designed with the minimum thickness to meet these requirements. In the past, there was an actual operation with a device designed to increase the thickness between this pressing surface and its back side, but it caused trouble with overheating of the endless belt during continuous operation in the hot summer season. There is a design where the thickness between the pressing surface and the back surface side is made as thin as possible.

In addition, if this device is used for a long period of time, the pressing surface in contact with the endless belt that frictionally travels under pressure will gradually wear and become uneven, resulting in meandering of the multi-slit strip strip and uneven tension, and winding of the product coil. In this case, the entire structure of the pressing body including the cooling water chamber structure integrated with the pressing surface is replaced. However, the cooling water cavity efficiently transfers heat from the pressing surface. In order to transmit the pressing force evenly through the endless belt to the heat radiating plate for cooling and the slit strip plate that has been slit in multiple lines, the pressing body and the pressing surface with no bending strength and the pressing surface are used by a sophisticated processing machine Since it has a uniform flat finish, it is subjected to complex and advanced precision processing such as wear-resistant hard chrome plating coating treatment in order to reduce wear due to friction of the endless belt and extend its life. When replacing the pressing body entire structure becomes high costs, and the exchange of decomposing the whole apparatus has become a complex task in maintenance costs and time, headaches for consuming and labor user species.
If the amount of wear is small and the unevenness of the pressing surface is relatively small, it can be removed and reassembled and restored after construction, such as surface polishing and hard chrome plating finish by a machine at a specialized factory. The work requires a considerable number of days, and the line operation cannot be stopped during that time, so the entire spare press body structure is manufactured as a spare part at a high cost and replaced, and the worn press body It is forced to store as a spare part after repairing.

In order to pressurize all endless belts evenly and generate a constant frictional force, the friction surface on the pressing surface has an advanced flat finish and a hard chrome plating coating. The coefficient of friction with the inner surface is unstable, and the tension of the slit strip through the endless belt is not stable. In addition, since the friction coefficient of the dry pressing surface is too large, the difference in the friction coefficient between the belt outer surface and the belt inner surface of the endless belt cannot be removed, and the belt does not rotate, and the belt surface due to slip of the slit belt Lubrication on the friction surface is indispensable because it causes a fatal trouble called the occurrence of scratches. In the prior art, a separate lubricant application device that attaches the lubricant to the inner surface of the endless belt is arranged, and the endless belt It is devised to keep the friction surface on the surface of the pressing surface in a lubricated state by contacting the inner surface of the belt during the rotation.
However, since the lubricant component adheres to the outer periphery of the pulley groove and the oblong drum where the inner surface of the endless belt is in contact, the friction surface of the critical pressing surface is insufficiently lubricated or unevenly lubricated, resulting in a high load. In the slitter line operated continuously with the coil, the endless belt is damaged due to overheating of the friction surface of the pressing surface, the strip surface scratches and dirt due to slip of the slit strip and the endless belt, or the coil (slit strip plate) due to uneven tension ) Is a serious problem. In order to avoid this problem as much as possible, it is necessary to frequently stop the line and replenish the lubricant even during the slit operation, which significantly reduces productivity.

Patent No. 2055141 Japanese Patent No. 3769730 Japanese Patent No. 3947714 US Pat. No. 3,735,937

  The multi-end endless belt type belt take-up tension applying device uses the frictional resistance between the pressing surface of the pressing body and the inner surface of the endless belt, so that the endless belt pressed by the upper and lower pressing body structures continuously travels. The friction surface of the surface has a wear-resistant hard chrome plating film to prolong the life, but as mentioned above, when it is used for a long time, the wear phenomenon gradually occurs and the friction surface should be flat. The uneven wear of the unevenness occurs, resulting in a meandering phenomenon of the coil and a problem of non-uniform winding tension of each of the slit strips slit in multiple lines. If the unevenness due to wear progresses, replacement is necessary, but the pressing body is a complex and strong structure integrated with the cooling water chamber to remove frictional heat as described above, and it is a precision finish to obtain uniform surface pressure. Depending on the size of the device, one set is an expensive replacement part of 1 million yen or more. The replacement work of such an integrated pressing body is not only costly, but also a large replacement work, during which time the production facility is temporarily suspended, hindering productivity (expensive replacement parts, large-scale replacement) work).

  The general slitter line is the maximum width of the metal coil (band), for example, 3 feet (900 mm), 4 feet (1200 mm), 5 feet (1500 mm), 6 feet (1800 mm), or recently 2000 mm Some of them exceed the width, and slitter lines will be installed according to the expected maximum coil (band) width, but most of the coils (band plates) that are normally slit-passed may be narrower than that. Because there are many, wear of the pressing surface part near the central part often used in the multi-end endless belt type belt take-up tension applying device is severe, and the wear of the pressing surface part of both side parts that are not used very often is reduced. . Even in the case of such uneven wear, it is necessary to replace the entire pressing body even with a minute unevenness due to a part of wear in the structure of the pressing body configured as an integral type (even with a part of minute wear). Replacing the entire pressing body).

  In order to stabilize the frictional resistance between the pressing body and the endless belt and to enable high-speed continuous operation, it is important to lubricate the friction surface of the pressing surface, so that a special lubricant is brought into contact with the inner surface of the endless belt. Although the structure has been devised, since the lubricating oil is fluid under high temperatures due to frictional heat, the lubricating oil on the inner surface of the endless belt can be removed from both ends of the belt by the centrifugal force during rotation of the endless belt. As a result, the lubricating oil may adhere to the surface of the slit strip that is in contact with the outer surface of the belt and contaminate the high-quality surface finish slit strip. This is the worst case for plated coils (strips). In addition, lack of this lubricating oil during line operation causes overheating damage to the inner surface of the endless belt, so the operation is stopped even during winding of the slit strip and the lubricant is replenished or excess lubricating oil that flows from the endless belt end. As a countermeasure against this, the realization of a device that maintains a constant lubrication state without using liquid lubricating oil is eagerly desired (external lubrication that is troublesome for maintenance and inspection).

  In view of the above-described problems, the present invention has been devised to solve the problems, and the object of the present invention is to provide a belt pressing surface of an easily wearable belt pressing body or an oval pressure imparting body. By attaching a metal thin friction plate to the belt, it is possible to prevent abrasion of the belt pressing surface, eliminating the need to polish the belt pressing body or oval pressure applicator accompanying the wear of the belt pressing surface or to replace these large scales. An object of the present invention is to provide a multi-strand endless belt-type belt take-up tension applying device.

In order to achieve the above-described problems, the invention of claim 1 includes a plurality of a pair of upper and lower endless belts that sandwich and press multiple slit strips from both upper and lower sides in the width direction of the slit strips. A belt pressing body or an oval-shaped pressure application having a cooling water chamber inside that presses the inner surface of the upper and lower endless belts toward the upper and lower surfaces of the slit strip and cools the frictional heat generated on the belt pressing surface. Place the body inside the upper and lower endless belts, make the friction coefficient of the belt outer surface of each upper and lower endless belt larger than the friction coefficient of the belt inner surface, and adhere to each slit strip moving to the winding side Each endless belt is driven by engagement, and each endless belt is independently circulated integrally with each moving slit strip, so that the belt pressing surface and the bell of the endless belt In a multi-strip endless belt type belt take-up tension applying device that applies a winding tension to a slit strip by a frictional force caused by sliding between the inner surface and the belt pressing body or an elliptical pressure imparting body, or the same The friction plate made of a metal thin plate having good thermal conductivity as described above comprises means for detachably mounting on the surface of the belt pressing surface of the belt pressing body or the oval pressure imparting body.
As a preferred aspect of the first aspect, the friction plate is configured to be divided into a plurality of sections in accordance with the width of the endless belt. A thin film having a self-lubricating component was formed on the surface side of the friction plate.

According to the present invention comprising means for solving the problems, the friction plate system in which a metal thin plate is placed on the belt pressing surface has the following effects.
The friction plate is a metal thin plate and has a thermal conductivity that is equal to or better than the material of the belt pressing body and the oval pressure imparting body. .
Since the friction plate is a thin metal plate, it is easy to shear and press-bend, so inexpensive parts can be realized.
Since the friction plate is a thin metal plate, the inner surface of the belt can be smoothly introduced and sent out to the clamping portion by bending both ends of the friction plate, thus preventing damage to the endless belt.
The belt pressing body or the ellipsoidal pressure imparting body has a conventional steel structure due to the necessity of minimizing the bending strength and the weldability of the sealed box structure for cooling water. JIS standard cold-rolled steel sheets, copper and copper alloy sheets, aluminum sheets, and other cold-rolled sheet materials that have thermal conductivity equivalent to or better than the material of the pressed body or oval-type pressure imparting body are commercially available at low cost. It is possible to select freely from various materials.
Also, if a metal sheet with a coating film of a self-lubricating component such as molybdenum resin or graphite is used, there is no need to supply lubricant from the outside. It becomes unnecessary and maintenance inspection becomes very easy.
Since the metal thin plate is stacked on the belt pressing surface, the friction plate can be divided according to the width of the endless belt, and it can be easily replaced partially only on frictional parts where wear is severe. Maintenance costs are also low and can be replaced in a short time, improving productivity.
Regardless of the size of the tensioning device, the friction plate divided by the metal thin plate is stocked as a small and light common standard part, which is convenient for supply to users all over the world.
Thus, by arranging the metal thin friction plate so as to overlap the belt pressing surface, it is an epoch-making thing that a friction surface that can be easily replaced can be realized without lowering strength and thermal efficiency. When the friction surface is worn, it can be easily replaced in a short time with a friction plate prepared in advance, and maintenance and management of the apparatus can be easily and quickly performed without impeding production activities.
Moreover, a very inexpensive replacement part can be obtained by superimposing a thin metal plate that can be easily bent by a press on a belt pressing body or an oval pressure applying body. Alternatively, by providing a self-lubricating function on one side of the friction plate with a coating of a sintered layer made of a fluororesin coated steel plate, molybdenum, graphite, etc., the lubrication between the pressed friction surface and the inner surface of the belt is sufficient and uniform and meanders And the problem of uneven tension are also eliminated. If the conventional external lubricant application device is not required, it is not necessary to stop the line operation during the slit operation and to check and replenish the lubricant, so that the productivity is remarkably improved.
Also, since it is not a method of applying lubricating oil to the inner surface of the belt, no oil or fat is attached to the belt, and as a result, the surface of the slit strip is not soiled and product loss is greatly helped in yield and quality improvement. It will be different.
In addition, by changing the friction plate to each belt width, or by dividing the width corresponding to multiple belt widths, it is possible to recover and maintain the initial performance by replacing only the friction plate of the part that was worn early, so maintenance management is also easy. There are extremely new and beneficial effects such as quick and very low maintenance costs.

It is a sectional side view of a conventional oval drum type multi-strip endless belt type belt take-up tension applying device.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically based on embodiments for carrying out the invention described in the drawings.
Since the multi-strand endless belt strip winding tension applying device includes a pulley system and an elliptical drum system without a pulley, [Embodiment-1] describes the pulley system and [Embodiment-2]. ] Will explain the oval drum system.

Embodiment 1
1 to 3 and 10 to 12, the pulley-type multi-endless belt-type belt take-up tension applying device is wound around a slit strip a that is wound around a slit strip take-up device (not shown). It is a device that applies a take-up tension, and is installed in the middle of the movement path of the slit strip a on the near side of the slit strip take-up device (not shown).

  The pulley-type multi-endless belt-type belt take-up tension applying device is composed of an endless belt 1 which is stretched in a substantially elliptical state so as to be opposed to each other in the vertical direction and arranged in parallel in the width direction, Each of the endless belts 1 is a pair of upper and lower pulleys 2 and 3 that are stretched in a substantially oval shape so as to circulate freely, and a pair of upper and lower ends that directly press the belt inner surfaces 1a of the upper and lower endless belts 1 respectively. An upper pressure applying body 6 and a lower belt applying body 5 for applying pressure to the belt pressing bodies 4 and 5 toward the belt inner surfaces 1a of the upper and lower endless belts 1 7 is mainly composed. The pair of upper and lower pulleys 2 and 3 and the pressure applying bodies 6 and 7 are supported by a stand (not shown), and the application of pressure by the pressure applying bodies 6 and 7 is similarly a hydraulic cylinder (not shown). Etc.

  The upper pressure applying body 6 presses a plurality of endless belts 1 arranged side by side on the upper side downward via the upper belt pressing body 4, while the lower pressure applying body 7 is arranged on the lower side. A plurality of endless belts 1 arranged are pressed upward by a reaction force through the lower belt pressing body 5. The upper pressure applying body 6 and the lower pressure applying body 7 cooperate with each other so that the slit strips a passing between the endless belts 1 facing each other vertically are indirectly moved up and down via the upper and lower endless belts 1. The sheet is clamped with the same pressing force to give a constant winding tension to the slit strip a that is wound around a slit strip winding device (not shown).

  The endless belt 1 is arranged so as to be able to circulate freely in the moving direction of the slit strips a, and is arranged in parallel in the transverse direction, that is, in a direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the slit strips a, and further these are arranged vertically. They are arranged opposite to each other.

  Each of the endless belts 1 arranged vertically and arranged side by side is composed of an endless belt, and a pair of upper pulleys 2 arranged on the upper side and a pair of each arranged on the lower side. Between the lower pulleys 3, they are independently stretched in a substantially oval state so as to be freely circulated. Each endless belt 1 is independently mounted so as to be able to circulate in the moving direction of the slit strip a.

  The belt outer surface 1b of the endless belt 1 has a function of moving the slit strip a together with the slit strip a. On the other hand, the belt inner surface 1 a of the endless belt 1 is pressed by the belt pressing surface 4 a of the upper belt pressing body 4 pressed by the upper pressure applying body 6 and the lower belt pressing body 5 pressed by the lower pressure applying body 7. The frictional force generated by sliding with the surface 5a serves to generate a winding tension in the slit strip a. For this reason, the belt inner surface 1a of the endless belt 1 has a smaller coefficient of friction than the belt outer surface 1b and is easy to slide.

  The belt inner surface 1a of the endless belt 1 is a woven fabric made of synthetic fibers so that a lubricant can be impregnated between the fibers of the woven fabric and the concave portions of the stitches, and the belt outer surface 1b of the endless belt 1 can have a high friction coefficient. It is composed of a flexible material.

  By using this woven fabric for the belt inner surface 1a of the endless belt 1, a lubricant can be preliminarily soaked between the fibers of the woven fabric and in the recesses of the stitches to reduce the friction coefficient. The woven fabric has a solid plate-like shape. Unlike the material, there is a characteristic that the flexibility is large, so that the rotational resistance of the endless belt 1 pressed by the upper belt pressing body 4 and the lower belt pressing body 5 is small. For the woven fabric, materials such as synthetic fibers such as polyester, vinylon, and nylon can be used.

  The belt outer surface 1b of the endless belt 1 is formed of a material having a higher friction coefficient than the belt inner surface 1a. That is, the belt inner surface material of the endless belt 1 uses a wear-resistant material such as a soft synthetic resin fiber material having a low coefficient of friction, and the outer surface material is an elastic body such as rubber or a synthetic resin sheet having a high coefficient of friction. The material is laminated using materials and the like.

  The pair of upper pulleys 2 are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the upper pressure applying body 6. The front and rear sides of the upper pressure applying body 6 are arranged in the width direction of the endless belt 1 in which the pulley shafts 2a are arranged in parallel. The plurality of upper pulleys 2 rotate independently on the front and rear pulley shafts 2a. It is supported freely. Both ends of the front pulley shaft 2a are connected and supported on both front sides of the upper pressure applicator 6, and both ends of the rear pulley shaft 2a are connected and supported on both ends of the rear side of the upper pressure applier 6 Has been.

  Each endless belt 1 arranged on the upper side of the slit strip a is stretched between upper pulleys 2 that are supported by pulley shafts 2 a on the front and rear sides of the upper pressure applying body 6. That is, each upper pulley 2 is pivotally supported so that it can rotate independently in the moving direction of the slit strip a. Thereby, each endless belt 1 can be independently circulated in the moving direction of the slit strip a.

  Each of the pair of upper pulleys 2 has a circular shape, and a groove-type guide collar 2b is formed on the circumferential edge side, and each endless belt 1 has both width end sides thereof by the groove-type guide collar 2b. Guided to prevent contact with the adjacent endless belt 1. Further, the upper pulleys 2 pivotally supported on the front and rear pulley shafts 2 a of the upper pressure applying body 6 are not shown between the adjacent upper pulleys 2 so as not to be displaced in the width direction of the endless belt 1. Ball bearings, split retaining rings, etc. are mounted on pulley shaft 2a

  A pair of upper pulleys 2 on which an endless belt 1 is stretched are rotatably supported by pulley shafts 2a on the front and rear sides of the upper pressure applying body 6, and endless belts 1 are circulated through the upper pulleys 2. There is no drive source to be moved, and the endless belt 1 does not circulate by itself other than circulate by frictional engagement with the moving slit strip a. That is, the endless belt 1 stretched between the pair of upper pulleys 2 does not circulate unless it contacts the slit strip a.

  The upper pressure applying body 6 is disposed in a state of being inserted through the inside of a number of endless belts 1 disposed on the upper side of the slit strip a. Similarly, the upper belt pressing body 4 is disposed under the upper pressure applying body 6 disposed in such a state so as to be inserted through the insides of many endless belts 1. The upper belt pressing body 4 has a steel structure because of the necessity of minimizing the bending strength and the problem of the weldability of the sealed box structure for cooling water.

  A belt pressing surface 4 a that presses the belt inner surface 1 a of the endless belt 1 is formed on the lower surface of the upper belt pressing body 4 in a horizontal linear shape in a side view. The longitudinal direction of the upper belt pressing body 4 and the upper pressure applying body 6 is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the slit strip a, and the inside of the upper endless belt 1 is inserted.

  A cooling water chamber 4b is provided in a direction crossing each endless belt 1 inside the upper belt pressing body 4 having the belt pressing surface 4a on its lower surface. The cooling water chamber 4b is for preventing the endless belt 1 which is cooled by flowing water inside and pressed through the belt pressing surface 4a of the upper belt pressing body 4 from overheating due to frictional heat. That is, the endless belt 1 is prevented from overheating by letting the generated frictional heat escape to the cooling water chamber 4b through the belt pressing surface 4a.

  As described above, in order to transmit this frictional heat to the cooling water in the cooling water chamber 4b as efficiently as possible, the belt pressing surface 4a and the belt pressing surface back surface side 4c which is the bottom surface side of the cooling water chamber 4b in contact with the cooling water. Is as thin as possible within a range that can withstand the pressing force.

  The interior of the cooling water chamber 4b is reinforced and partitioned by a reinforcing plate 4d. The reinforcing plate 4d also functions as a heat radiating plate that radiates heat transferred from the friction plate 8 through the belt pressing surface 4a into the cooling water chamber 4b. The reinforcing plate 4d that reinforces the cooling water chamber 4b inside the upper belt pressing body 4 functions to maintain the shape of the upper belt pressing body 4 in which the inside is hollow by the cooling water chamber 4b. That is, a compressive force acts on the upper belt pressing body 4 that presses the endless belt 1 downward, but the reinforcing plate 4d resists this and the upper belt pressing body 4 bends or curves in the longitudinal direction. It plays a function to prevent you from doing.

  As described above, the belt pressing surface 4a on the lower surface of the upper belt pressing body 4 is gradually worn and uneven, resulting in meandering of the multi-slit strip strip a and uneven tension, resulting in poor winding of the product coil. Therefore, a friction plate 8 described later is detachably mounted on the surface of the belt pressing surface 4a.

  The pair of lower pulleys 3 are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the lower pressure applying body 7. The front and rear sides of the lower pressure applying body 7 are arranged in the width direction of the endless belt 1 in which the pulley shafts 3a are arranged side by side. The plurality of lower pulleys 3 rotate independently on the front and rear pulley shafts 3a. It is supported freely. Both ends of the front pulley shaft 3a are connected and supported at both ends on the front side of the lower pressure applicator 7, and both ends of the rear pulley shaft 3a are connected and supported at both ends on the rear side of the lower pressure applier 7. Has been.

  Each endless belt 1 disposed below the slit strip a is stretched between lower pulleys 3 that are supported by pulley shafts 3 a on the front and rear sides of the lower pressure applying body 7. That is, each lower pulley 3 is pivotally supported so that it can rotate independently in the moving direction of the slit strip a. Thereby, each endless belt 1 can be independently circulated in the moving direction of the slit strip a.

  Each of the pair of lower pulleys 3 has a circular shape, and a groove-type guide collar 3b is formed on the circumferential edge side, and each endless belt 1 has both width end sides thereof by the groove-type guide collar 3b. Guided to prevent contact with the adjacent endless belt 1. Further, the lower pulleys 3 that are pivotally supported by the pulley shafts 3a on the front and rear sides of the lower pressure applying body 7 are not shown between the adjacent lower pulleys 3 so as not to shift in the width direction of the endless belt 1. Ball bearings, split retaining rings, etc. are mounted on the pulley shaft 3a.

  A pair of lower pulleys 3 on which an endless belt 1 is stretched are rotatably supported by pulley shafts 3a on the front and rear sides of the lower pressure applying body 7, and endless belts 1 are circulated through the lower pulleys 3. There is no drive source to be moved, and the endless belt 1 does not circulate by itself other than circulate by frictional engagement with the moving slit strip a. That is, the endless belt 1 stretched between the pair of lower pulleys 3 does not circulate unless it contacts the slit strip a.

  The lower pressure applying body 7 is disposed in a state of being inserted through the inside of a number of endless belts 1 disposed on the lower side of the slit strip a. Similarly, a lower belt pressing body 5 is disposed on the upper portion of the lower pressure applying body 7 disposed in such a state so as to be inserted through the insides of many endless belts 1. The lower belt pressing body 5 has a steel structure because of the necessity of minimizing the bending strength and the problem of the weldability of the sealed box structure for cooling water.

  On the upper surface of the lower belt pressing body 5, a belt pressing surface 5a that presses the belt inner surface 1a of the endless belt 1 is formed in a horizontal straight line in a side view. The lower belt pressing body 5 and the lower pressure applying body 7 are arranged such that their longitudinal directions are perpendicular to the moving direction of the slit strip a, and the inner side of the lower endless belt 1 is inserted.

  A cooling water chamber 5b is provided in a direction crossing each endless belt 1 inside the lower belt pressing body 5 having the belt pressing surface 5a on its upper surface. The cooling water chamber 5b is for preventing the endless belt 1 which is cooled by flowing water inside and pressed through the belt pressing surface 5a of the lower belt pressing body 5 from being overheated by frictional heat. In other words, the endless belt 1 is prevented from overheating by letting the generated frictional heat escape to the cooling water chamber 5b through the belt pressing surface 5a.

  As described above, in order to transmit this frictional heat to the cooling water in the cooling water chamber 5b as efficiently as possible, the belt pressing surface 5a and the belt pressing surface back surface side 5c which is the ceiling surface side of the cooling water chamber 5b in contact with the cooling water. The thickness between them is as thin as possible within a range that can withstand the pressing force.

  The inside of the cooling water chamber 5b is reinforced and partitioned by a reinforcing plate 5d. The reinforcing plate 5d also functions as a heat radiating plate that radiates heat transferred from the friction plate 8 through the belt pressing surface 5a into the cooling water chamber 5b. The reinforcing plate 5d that reinforces the cooling water chamber 5b inside the lower belt pressing body 5 functions to maintain the shape of the lower belt pressing body 5 whose inside is hollowed by the cooling water chamber 5b. That is, a compressive force acts on the lower belt pressing body 5 that presses the endless belt 1 upward, but the reinforcing plate 5d resists this, and the lower belt pressing body 5 bends or curves in the longitudinal direction. It plays a function to prevent you from doing.

  As described above, the belt pressing surface 5a on the upper surface of the lower belt pressing body 5 gradually wears and becomes uneven, resulting in meandering of the multi-slit strip strip a and uneven tension, resulting in poor winding of the product coil. Therefore, the next friction plate 8 is detachably mounted on the surface of the belt pressing surface 5a.

  The friction plate 8 is made of a thin metal plate having good thermal conductivity equal to or higher than that of the upper belt pressing body 4 and the lower belt pressing body 5, and the surface of the belt pressing surfaces 4 a and 5 a of the belt pressing bodies 4 and 5. Is detachably mounted. The friction plate 8 is in direct contact with the belt inner surface 1a of the endless belt 1 in place of the upper and lower belt pressing surfaces 4a and 5a, and the lower surface side of the upper belt pressing member 4 and the upper surface side of the lower belt pressing member 5 are respectively contacted. It functions to prevent the belt pressing surfaces 4a and 5a that are integrally formed from being worn directly.

  The friction plate 8 is mounted in close contact with the surfaces of the belt pressing surfaces 4a and 5a. Furthermore, when the slit strip plate a is pressed, the metal thin friction plate 8 is strongly adhered to the surfaces of the belt pressing surfaces 4a and 5a by the pressing force, so that the belt inner surface 1a of the endless belt 1 and the friction plate 8 The frictional heat generated between them is smoothly transmitted from the friction plate 8 to the belt pressing surfaces 4a and 5a due to the close contact. Further, the friction plate 8 is attached to the belt pressing surfaces 4a and 5a as shown in FIG. 3, for example, by adhesion fixing (see FIG. 3A), groove fitting fixing (see FIG. 3B) or This is performed by any of screw fixing (see FIG. 3C).

  In the case of adhesive fixing (see FIG. 3A), the adhesive is attached to either or both of the front surface of the belt pressing surfaces 4a and 5a and the rear surface side that is the adhesive side of the friction plate 8. A material that does not disturb the thermal conductivity is used. Moreover, in the case of groove fitting fixation (refer FIG. 3 (B)), the lower side surface of the front-and-rear both-ends side of the upper belt pressing body 4 corresponding to the moving direction of the slit strip plate a, and the front-and-rear both-ends side of the lower belt pressing body 5 Engagement grooves 4e and 5e for fitting both ends of the friction plate 8 are respectively formed on the upper side surface. When the friction plate 8 is attached to the upper belt pressing surface 4a, both ends of the friction plate 8 in the horizontal direction are bent upward, and the tip thereof is bent inward at a right angle to be fitted into the engagement groove 4e. Install. Similarly, when the friction plate 8 is mounted on the lower belt pressing surface 5a, both ends of the friction plate 8 in the horizontal direction are bent downward and the tip thereof is bent inward at right angles to be fitted into the engagement groove 5e. Install. Further, in the case of screw fixing (see FIG. 3C), the friction plate 8 is provided on the lower side surface on both the front and rear ends of the upper belt pressing body 4 and the lower belt pressing body 5 corresponding to the moving direction of the slit strip a. The both ends of the are bent and fixed with screws 8b.

  Belt pressing surfaces of the belt pressing bodies 4 and 5 without decreasing the flexural strength of the upper and lower belt pressing bodies 4 and 5 and without decreasing the thermal conductivity for moving the frictional heat to the cooling water chambers 4b and 5b. As a means for facilitating maintenance management due to uneven wear on the surfaces of 4a and 5a, a friction made of a thin metal plate having a thickness of several millimeters (for example, about 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm) on the friction surface of the belt pressing surfaces 4a and 5a. The plates 8 are arranged so as to overlap each other.

  As described in [Background Art], the thickness between the belt pressing surfaces 4a and 5a and the belt pressing surface back side 4c and 5c in contact with the cooling water chambers 4b and 5b in contact with the cooling water is the heat transfer and bending strength. In order to prevent overheating trouble of the endless belt 1 and enable continuous operation, it is designed with the same thickness as before. Should be stopped. Therefore, paying attention to this polishing allowance, it is designed to be thinner than the conventional upper and lower belt pressing bodies 4 and 5 within the range of the polishing allowance, and the metal friction plate 8 corresponding to that is arranged to overlap. It came. Further, in consideration of workability such as press bending and frictional heat transfer loss caused by placing the thin friction plate 8 on the upper and lower belt pressing bodies 4 and 5, the friction of the metal thin plate to be placed on top of each other. The plate 8 should be limited to a thickness of about 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm.

  Examples of the metal thin plate material used as the friction plate 8 include JIS standard (JIS G 3141) cold-rolled steel plate and steel strip with good thermal conductivity, and JIS standard (JIS H 3100) copper and copper alloys. Cold rolled materials such as plates, JIS standard (JIS H 4000) aluminum and aluminum alloy plates can be used, but in any case, a bright finish material smoothed by a smooth finished roll is preferred and wear prevention is also provided. From the viewpoint of the above, a hard finish tempered material is preferable. Of course, in this case as well, there is a lubricant application device 9 which will be described later, which is provided as necessary, and a lubricant 9a which will be described later attached to the inner surface 1a of the endless belt 1 lubricates the surface of the friction plate 8. When a non-uniform tension due to wear gradually occurs due to use, only the worn metal thin friction plate 8 can be easily replaced.

  The friction plate 8 is made of a thin metal plate having a thickness of, for example, about 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm as described above, and the lower surface side of the upper belt pressing body 4 that generates frictional heat, that is, the belt pressing surface 4a and the belt pressing surface rear surface side 4c. And the total thickness of the friction plates 8 stacked thereover are equal to or less than the thickness between the conventional belt pressing surface 4a and the belt pressing surface back side 4c. Similarly, the thickness of the upper surface side of the lower belt pressing body 5 that generates frictional heat, that is, the thickness between the belt pressing surface 5a and the belt pressing surface rear surface side 5c, and the total thickness of the friction plates 8 overlapped therewith are the conventional belt pressing surfaces. It is equal to or less than the thickness between 5a and the belt pressing surface back surface side 5c.

  The metal thin friction plate 8 clamped between the upper and lower belt pressing bodies 4 and 5 in order to generate the winding tension due to the frictional force of the belt inner surface 1a of the endless belt 1 is the surface of the belt pressing surfaces 4a and 5a. Therefore, the frictional heat generated by the winding operation of the slit strip plate a can be reduced to the side of the cooling water chambers 4b and 5b inside the belt pressing bodies 4 and 5 as in the case of the conventional integrated structure. Since the heat is transferred, the cooling effect is not reduced.

  In addition, the strength required to reduce the thickness corresponding to the polishing allowance of the conventional belt pressing bodies 4 and 5 is ensured, and the structure is such that a metal thin friction plate 8 is stacked on the surface of a similar pressing body box structure. The rigidity of the belt pressing bodies 4 and 5 is not insufficient.

  When the surface of the friction plate 8 that is in direct contact with the belt inner surface 1a of the endless belt 1 is worn, it is not an exchange of the entire structure of the complicated and expensive pressing bodies 4 and 5 integrated with the cooling water chambers 4b and 5b. In addition, only the metal thin friction plate 8 needs to be replaced, and the maintenance work of the apparatus can be performed with a simple operation in a short time.

  By the way, the upper and lower endless belts 1 are drawn by the slit belt plate a while being clamped and sandwiched by the upper and lower belt pressing bodies 4 and 5, and continuously rotate. The corners of the belt pressing bodies 4 and 5 on the entrance side and the exit side of the endless belt 1 need to be rounded so that the endless belt 1 is not damaged. In this case, the friction plate 8 made of a metal thin plate having a thickness of only a few millimeters can be easily bent by pressing. Therefore, curved portions 8c having roundness are provided on both sides of the friction plate 8 so that the inner side of the belt. Damage to the surface 1a can be prevented.

  The friction plate 8 is made of a material having good thermal conductivity equal to or higher than that of the upper belt pressing body 4 of the belt pressing surface 4a and the lower belt pressing body 5 of the belt pressing surface 5a to be mounted on the surface thereof. ing. In this case, the upper and lower belt pressing bodies 4 and 5 have a steel structure due to the necessity of minimizing the bending strength and the problem of welding workability of the cooling water sealed box structure, but the material of the friction plate 8 is JIS standard cold-rolled steel sheets, copper and copper alloy sheets, aluminum sheets and other cold-rolled sheet materials with thermal conductivity equivalent to or better than the upper and lower belt pressing bodies 4 and 5 are commercially available and inexpensive. It is possible to select freely from materials.

  Further, the uneven lubrication or insufficient lubrication of the friction surface, which is one of the causes of the slip and meandering phenomenon between the endless belt 1 and the slit band plate a, is fatal to the current arrangement and method of the lubricant 9a on the inner surface 1a of the belt. The lubrication component applied to the inner belt surface 1a of the folded belt has a problem that the lubrication component is eliminated when the belt inner surface 1a contacts and rotates on the groove bottom of the pulley or the outer periphery of the elliptical drum. Since a sufficient lubricating effect is not obtained on the friction surface, only the friction plate 8 itself or the surface side 8b thereof is made of a material having a lubricating effect.

  That is, the friction plate 8 is made of a metal thin plate on which a thin film (for example, about 0.5 mm thick) containing a self-lubricating component such as molybdenum, graphite or fluororesin is formed as a material of the friction plate 8. By comprising, it can also be made to produce a lubrication effect directly on the friction surface pressed, without using the lubricant application | coating apparatus 9 of the belt inner surface 1a of the separate installation.

  The friction plate 8 may be a single wide plate that overlaps the entire longitudinal direction of the upper and lower belt pressing bodies 4 and 5 (see FIG. 12A), but is the width corresponding to the width of each endless belt 1 (FIG. 12). (Refer to (B)), if it is divided into a width corresponding to the width of a plurality of endless belts 1 (see FIGS. 12C to 12E), the friction corresponding to some endless belts 1 that are frequently used. When the plate 8 is unevenly worn, only the corresponding friction plate 8 needs to be replaced, so that inexpensive and simple maintenance management is realized.

  A lubricant applying device 9 for lubricating the belt inner surface 1a of the endless belt 1 is provided in the upper center of the upper pressure applying body 6 as necessary. Similarly, a lubricant application device 9 for lubricating the belt inner surface 1a of the endless belt 1 is provided at the lower center of the lower pressure applying body 7 as necessary. A lubricant 9a that constitutes a part of the lubricant application device 9 and directly lubricates the belt inner surface 1a is accommodated in a concave lubricant holder 9b. The lubricant 9a at the upper center of the upper pressure applying body 6 is accommodated upward, and the lubricant 9a at the lower center of the lower pressure applying body 7 is accommodated downward.

  That is, the lubricant 9a impregnated with a non-woven fabric or porous foam formed of a rod-like paraffin that is solid at room temperature and becomes liquid at a temperature exceeding the melting point is placed on the belt inner surface 1a side of the endless belt 1 in contact. Then, the impregnated paraffin inside is eluted by frictional heat generated by the rotation of the endless belt 1, and the belt inner surface 1a of the endless belt 1 is lubricated to reduce the friction coefficient. While the endless belt 1 is rotated by the lubricant 9a, the inner surface 1a of the belt is lubricated. Therefore, it is not necessary to frequently stop the line to lubricate the inner surface 1a of the belt, and the lubricant 9a contributes to improvement of productivity. To do.

Next, the operation based on the configuration of the embodiment for carrying out the invention will be described below.
A friction plate is provided on the surface of the belt pressing surface 4a located on the lower surface of the upper belt pressing body 4 provided in the lower portion of the upper pressure applying body 6 constituting the pulley-type multi-endless belt belt winding tension applying device. 8 is installed. Similarly, a friction plate 8 is mounted on the surface of the belt pressing surface 5 a located on the upper surface of the lower belt pressing body 5 provided on the upper portion of the lower pressure applying body 7.

  The friction plate 8 is mounted by any one of, for example, adhesive fixing, groove fitting fixing, or screw fixing as described above. Further, the friction plate 8 to be mounted is a single wide plate according to the width of the slit band plate a, or is divided for each endless belt 1 or the endless belt 1. It may have been divided into multiple pieces. When the friction plate 8 is a single wide plate, the mounting operation is only required once. In the case where the friction plate 8 is a divided plate, when the friction plate 8 is replaced by wear, only the worn friction plate 8 needs to be replaced, and the material cost is reduced.

  When the winding of the slit strip a is started, the upper and lower endless belts 1 are paired with a pair of upper pulleys 2 due to the contact friction between the front and back surfaces of the moving slit strip a and the belt outer surfaces 1b of the upper and lower endless belts 1. The lower pulley 3 is stretched in a substantially oval shape and circulates and circulates in a substantially oval state. At this time, the upper and lower endless belts 1 circulate independently with each other at the same speed together with the moving slit strips a without causing any slip.

  On the other hand, the belt pressing of the lower belt pressing body 5 pressed by the friction plate 8 and the lower pressure applying body 7 mounted on the surface of the belt pressing surface 4a of the upper belt pressing body 4 pressed by the upper pressure applying body 6. Due to the frictional force caused by the slip between each surface of the friction plate 8 mounted on the surface 5a and the belt inner surface 1a of the upper and lower endless belts 1, that is, the frictional engagement with the moving slit strip plate a is substantially long. The upper belt pressing body 4 and the lower belt pressing body 5 that press the belt inner surface 1a of the endless belt 1 that circulates in a circular state perform a so-called brake function. A necessary winding tension is generated in each slit band a positioned between the endless belt type band winding tension applying device.

  In addition, frictional heat generated by friction between the friction plate 8 attached to the belt pressing surface 4 a of the upper belt pressing body 4 and the belt inner surface 1 a of the upper endless belt 1 passes through the friction plate 8 and the belt of the upper belt pressing body 4. The pressure is transmitted from the pressing surface 4a to the belt pressing surface back side 4c, and a part thereof is transmitted to the reinforcing plate 4c of the cooling water chamber 4b. The belt pressing surface back surface side 4c is the bottom surface side of the cooling water chamber 4b provided inside the upper belt pressing body 4, and the reinforcing plate 4c also serves as a heat radiating plate of the cooling water chamber 4b. The frictional heat is cooled by the cooling water flowing through the chamber 4b.

  Similarly, frictional heat generated by friction between the friction plate 8 attached to the belt pressing surface 5 a of the lower belt pressing body 5 and the belt inner surface 1 a of the lower endless belt 1 is transmitted through the friction plate 8 to the lower belt pressing body 5. It is transmitted from the belt pressing surface 5a to the belt pressing surface back side 5c, and a part thereof is further transmitted to the reinforcing plate 5c of the cooling water chamber 5b. The belt pressing surface back surface side 5c is the bottom surface side of the cooling water chamber 5b provided inside the lower belt pressing body 5, and the reinforcing plate 5c also serves as a heat radiating plate of the cooling water chamber 5b. The frictional heat is cooled by the cooling water flowing through the chamber 5b.

  Thus, the frictional heat generated by the friction between the friction plates 8 attached to the belt pressing surfaces 4a and 5a of the upper and lower belt pressing bodies 4 and 5 and the belt inner surfaces 1a of the upper and lower endless belts 1 Heat is dissipated by the cooling water flowing through the cooling water chambers 4b and 5b provided inside the upper and lower belt pressing bodies 4 and 5 through the friction plate 8, so that the endless belt 1 is prevented from being overheated and damaged.

  When the friction plate 8 is worn by directly pressing the belt inner surface 1 a of the endless belt 1, the worn friction plate 8 is pressed against the belt pressing surface 4 a of the upper belt pressing body 4 or the belt pressing of the lower belt pressing body 5. The friction plate 8 is removed from the surface 5a, and a new friction plate 8 is attached to the belt pressing surface 4a or the belt pressing surface 5a. Since this replacement work can be performed without removing the upper belt pressing body 4 or the lower belt pressing body 5 from the main body structure, the labor and time of the conventional replacement work and the cost of the replacement are greatly reduced. Is possible.

  A friction plate 8 formed by bending a metal thin plate can be placed on the belt pressing surfaces 4a and 5a, and the surface side 8b of the friction plate 8 is formed of a sintered layer made of a material having a self-lubricating function. If the metal thin plate is used, the friction part itself has a lubricating effect, so that the separate lubricant applying device 9 on the inner surface 1a of the belt is not necessary, and the maintenance work of the lubricant 9a by temporarily stopping the line is unnecessary. Become. Further, since there is no fluidized liquid lubricating oil, the accident of contamination of the endless belt 1 and the slit strip a is also eliminated.

As shown in FIG. 12, if the friction plate 8 made of a thin metal plate divided into several endless belts is mounted on the belt pressing surfaces 4a and 5a, the friction plate 8 is mass-produced as a small standard part. It is possible to reduce the cost of replacement parts. Generally, the friction plate 8 near the center is heavily worn because the frequency of use near the center of the winding device is high. Only the friction plate 8 at the place can be individually replaced, and the merit in terms of maintenance management is great.

[Embodiment 2]
4 to 12, an elliptical drum-type multi-strip endless belt strip winding tension applying device applies a predetermined winding tension to a slit strip plate a wound around a slit strip plate winding device (not shown). It is a device to be applied, and is installed in the middle of the movement path of the slit strip a on the near side of the slit strip take-up device (not shown).

  An elliptical drum-type multi-strip endless belt-type belt take-up tension applying device is provided with endless belts 11 that are vertically opposed to each other and are held in a substantially oval state so as to be circulated and arranged in parallel in the width direction. Each of the upper and lower endless belts 11 circulates around the outer periphery of the belt so as to circulate freely in a substantially oval state and presses against the belt inner surface 11a of the endless belt 11 and a pair of upper oval pressure applicators 20 and a lower oval type It is mainly composed of the pressure applying body 30. The pair of upper and lower elliptical pressure applying bodies 20 and 30 is supported by a stand (not shown), and the application of pressure by the elliptical pressure applying bodies 20 and 30 is similarly a hydraulic cylinder (not shown). Etc.

  The upper oval pressure applicator 20 presses the endless belt 11 disposed on the upper side downward, while the lower oval pressure applier 30 presses the endless belt 11 disposed on the lower side upward. The upper oval pressure imparting body 20 and the lower oval pressure imparting body 30 cooperate with each other so that the slit strips a passing between the endless belts 11 facing each other vertically are passed through the endless belt 11. It is indirectly clamped with the same pressing force from above and below to give a constant tension.

  The endless belt 11 is arranged so as to be able to circulate freely in the moving direction of the slit band plate a, and is arranged in parallel in the lateral direction, that is, in a direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the slit band plate a, and further, these are arranged vertically. They are arranged opposite to each other.

  Each of the endless belts 11 arranged vertically and arranged side by side is composed of an endless belt, and the outer circumference and the lower part of the upper oval pressure applicator 20 having an approximately oval cross section arranged on the upper side. It is independently attached to the outer periphery of the lower oval pressure applicator 30 having a substantially oval cross section disposed on the side in a substantially oval state so as to be freely circulated. Each endless belt 11 is mounted so as to be able to circulate independently in the moving direction of the slit strip a.

  The upper oval pressure imparting body 20 and the lower oval pressure imparting body 30 to which the endless belt 11 is attached are not provided with a drive source for circulating the endless belt 11, and the endless belt 11 moves through a slit band. In addition to circulating by frictional engagement with the plate a, it does not circulate by itself. That is, the endless belts 11 respectively attached to the upper oval pressure applicator 20 and the lower oval pressure applier 30 do not circulate unless they contact the slit strip a.

  The belt outer surface 11b of the endless belt 11 functions to move the slit band plate a integrally with the slit band plate a. On the other hand, the belt inner surface 11a of the endless belt 11 generates a tension in the slit strip plate a by a frictional force caused by sliding between the upper oval pressure applying body 20 and the lower oval pressure applying body 30. It fulfills its function. For this reason, the belt inner surface 11a of the endless belt 11 has a smaller coefficient of friction than the belt outer surface 11b and is easy to slide.

  The belt inner surface 11a of the endless belt 11 is a woven fabric made of synthetic fiber so that a lubricant can be impregnated between the fibers of the woven fabric and the concave portions of the stitches, and the belt outer surface 11b of the endless belt 11 can be a high friction coefficient. It is composed of a flexible material.

  By using this woven fabric for the belt inner surface 11a of the endless belt 11, a lubricant can be preliminarily soaked between the fibers of the woven fabric and in the recesses of the stitches to reduce the friction coefficient. Unlike the material, it has a characteristic that it has great flexibility, so that the rotational resistance of the endless belt 11 attached to the upper and lower elliptical pressure applying bodies 20 and 30 is small. For the woven fabric, materials such as synthetic fibers such as polyester, vinylon, and nylon can be used.

  The belt outer surface 11b of the endless belt 11 is made of a material having a larger friction coefficient than the belt inner surface 11a. That is, the belt inner surface material of the endless belt 11 uses a wear-resistant material such as a soft synthetic resin fiber material having a low coefficient of friction, and the outer surface material is an elastic body such as rubber or synthetic resin sheet having a high coefficient of friction. The material is laminated using materials and the like. Further, the belt inner surface 11a of the endless belt 11 is applied using a method of applying a lubricant to the belt inner surface 11a of the endless belt 11 and the sliding surfaces of the upper oval pressure applicator 20 and the lower oval pressure applier 30. The friction coefficient may be smaller than the friction coefficient of the belt outer surface 11b.

  The upper oval pressure applicator 20 is disposed in a state of being inserted through the inside of a number of endless belts 11 disposed on the upper side. The upper oval pressure applicator 20 disposed in such a state includes a belt pressing portion 21 having a linear side cross section that presses the belt inner surface 11a of the endless belt 11 downward, and an upper portion of the belt pressing portion 21. The belt guide portion 22 is formed in parallel with the belt guide portion 22 having a linear side section, and is formed on both ends of the upper belt guide portion 22 and the lower belt pressing portion 21. 23 is integrally formed.

  The upper oval pressure imparting body 20 is formed in, for example, an elliptical cross section by an upper belt guide portion 22, a lower belt pressing portion 21, and, for example, a semi-arc-shaped belt reversing portion 23 on both ends thereof. The belt reversing portion 23 may have a shape other than a semicircular arc shape, a partial elliptical arc shape, or a partial parabolic shape. In this case, the upper oval pressure imparting body 20 has a substantially oval cross section. The upper oval pressure applicator 20 is disposed such that its longitudinal direction is perpendicular to the moving direction of the slit strip a, and the inside of the endless belt 11 is inserted.

  A plurality of endless belts 11 arranged side by side in the lateral direction circulate independently on the outer periphery of the upper oval pressure applicator 20 having a substantially oval cross section. The circumferential surface of the upper oval pressure applicator 20 is finished in an oval shape so that each endless belt 11 can smoothly circulate around the upper oval pressure applier 20 in an oval state. .

  The belt pressing surface 21a on the lower surface of the belt pressing portion 21 presses the slit band plate a through the endless belt 11 with a surface pressure having a certain length with respect to the moving direction of the slit band plate a. This is a portion that applies a winding tension to a. For this reason, the belt pressing portion 21 and the belt pressing surface 21a on the lower surface thereof are formed in a straight line having a certain length with respect to the moving direction of the slit strip a so as to be parallel to the slit strip a passing therethrough. ing. Further, a plurality of endless belts 11 arranged side by side in the lateral direction are formed so as to be able to uniformly press the belt inner surface 11a.

  The endless belt 11 in which the belt inner surface 11a is pressed by the belt pressing portion 21 and the belt outer surface 11b is in direct contact with the slit band plate a is not slipped with the belt outer surface 11b being in close contact with the slit band plate a. It circulates at the same speed as the plate a. The belt pressing portion 21 has a flat surface that comes into contact with the endless belt 11, and is finished so that friction with the inner surface 11 a of the endless belt 11 is reduced.

  A plurality of belt guide protrusions 24 that divide and guide the plurality of endless belts 11 arranged in parallel in the lateral direction are provided on the outer periphery of the upper oval pressure applying body 20 at regular intervals in the circumferential direction. Yes. The belt guide protrusions 24 prevent the endless belts 11 from meandering and changing in the width direction. A plurality of belt guide protrusions 24 are provided on both belt reversal portions 23 at appropriate intervals, but are also provided on the belt guide portion 22 as necessary. A pin is usually used for the belt guide protrusion 24, but a plate-like member may be used in addition to the pin.

  A cooling water chamber 25 is provided in a direction crossing each endless belt 11 inside the upper oval pressure imparting body 20 having the belt pressing surface 21a of the belt pressing portion 21 on its lower surface. The cooling water chamber 25 is for preventing the endless belt 11 that circulates while circulating around the outer periphery of the upper oval pressure applicator 20 from being overheated by frictional heat. That is, the endless belt 11 is prevented from overheating by letting the generated frictional heat escape to the cooling water chamber 25 through the belt pressing surface 21a.

  As described above, in order to transmit this frictional heat to the cooling water in the cooling water chamber 25 as efficiently as possible, between the belt pressing surface 21a and the belt pressing surface back surface side 21b which is the bottom surface side of the cooling water chamber 25 in contact with the cooling water. Is as thin as possible within a range that can withstand the pressing force.

  The interior of the cooling water chamber 25 is reinforced and partitioned by a reinforcing plate 25a. The reinforcing plate 25a also functions as a heat radiating plate that radiates heat transferred from the friction plate 40 through the belt pressing surface 21a into the cooling water chamber 25. The reinforcing plate 25a that reinforces the cooling water chamber 25 inside the upper oval pressure applier 20 fulfills the function of maintaining the shape of the upper oval pressure applier 20 in which the inside becomes a cavity by the cooling water chamber 25. That is, a compressive force is applied in the vertical direction to the upper oval pressure applicator 20 that presses the endless belt 11 downward, but the reinforcing plate 25a resists this and the upper oval pressure applier 20 has its longitudinal length. It functions to prevent bending or bending in the direction.

  As described above, the belt pressing surface 21a on the lower surface of the belt pressing portion 21 of the upper oval pressure applicator 20 is gradually worn and becomes uneven, and the multi-slit strip strip a has a meandering and non-uniform tension. Coil winding failure. Therefore, a friction plate 40 described later is detachably mounted on the surface of the belt pressing surface 21a.

  The lower oval pressure applicator 30 is disposed in a state of being inserted through the inside of a number of endless belts 11 disposed on the lower side. The lower oval pressure applicator 30 arranged in such a state includes a belt pressing portion 31 having a linear side cross section that presses the belt inner surface 11a of the endless belt 11 upward, and a lower portion of the belt pressing portion 31. A belt guide portion 32 having a straight side section and a belt reversing portion having an arc shape, for example, a semi-arc shape, formed on both end sides of the upper belt pressing portion 31 and the lower belt guide portion 32. 33 is formed integrally.

  The lower oval type pressure applying body 30 is formed in, for example, an elliptical cross section by an upper belt pressing portion 31, a lower belt guide portion 32, and, for example, a semicircular arc belt reversing portion 33 on both ends thereof. The belt reversing portion 33 may have a shape other than a semicircular arc shape, a partial elliptical arc shape, or a partial parabolic shape. In this case, the lower oval pressure imparting body 30 has a substantially oval cross section. The lower elliptical pressure applying body 30 is disposed such that its longitudinal direction is perpendicular to the moving direction of the slit strip a, and the inside of the endless belt 11 is inserted.

  A plurality of endless belts 11 arranged side by side in the lateral direction circulate independently on the outer periphery of the lower oval pressure applicator 30 having a substantially oval cross section. The circumferential surface of the lower oval pressure applicator 30 is finished in an oval shape, and each endless belt 11 can smoothly circulate around the lower oval pressure applier 30 in an oval state. .

  The belt pressing surface 31a on the upper surface of the belt pressing portion 31 presses the slit band plate a via the endless belt 11 with a surface pressure having a certain length with respect to the moving direction of the slit band plate a. This is a portion that applies a winding tension to a. For this reason, the belt pressing portion 31 and the belt pressing surface 31a on the upper surface thereof are formed in a straight line having a certain length with respect to the moving direction of the slit strip a so as to be parallel to the slit strip a passing therethrough. ing. Further, a plurality of endless belts 11 arranged side by side in the lateral direction are formed so as to be able to uniformly press the belt inner surface 11a.

  The endless belt 11 in which the belt inner surface 11a is pressed by the belt pressing portion 31 and the belt outer surface 11b is in direct contact with the slit strip plate a has a slit strip without the belt outer surface 11b closely contacting the slit strip plate a. It circulates at the same speed as the plate a. The belt pressing portion 31 has a flat surface in contact with the endless belt 11 and is finished so that friction with the belt inner surface 11a of the endless belt 11 is reduced.

  A plurality of belt guide protrusions 34 that divide and guide the plurality of endless belts 11 arranged in parallel in the lateral direction are provided on the outer periphery of the lower elliptical pressure applying body 30 at regular intervals in the circumferential direction. Yes. The belt guide protrusions 34 prevent the endless belts 11 from meandering and changing in the width direction. A plurality of belt guide protrusions 34 are provided on both belt reversing portions 33 at appropriate intervals, but are also provided on the belt guide portion 32 as necessary. A pin is usually used for the belt guide protrusion 34, but a plate-like member may be used in addition to the pin.

  A cooling water chamber 35 is provided in a direction crossing each endless belt 11 inside the lower oval pressure applying body 30 having the belt pressing surface 31a of the belt pressing portion 31 on the upper surface thereof. The cooling water chamber 35 is for preventing the endless belt 11 that circulates while circulating around the outer periphery of the lower oval pressure applicator 30 from being overheated by frictional heat. That is, the endless belt 11 is prevented from overheating by letting the generated frictional heat escape to the cooling water chamber 35 through the belt pressing surface 31a.

  As described above, in order to transmit this frictional heat as efficiently as possible to the cooling water in the cooling water chamber 35, the belt pressing surface 31a and the belt pressing surface back surface side 31b which is the bottom surface side of the cooling water chamber 35 in contact with the cooling water. Is as thin as possible within a range that can withstand the pressing force.

  The interior of the cooling water chamber 35 is reinforced and partitioned by a reinforcing plate 35a. The reinforcing plate 35a also functions as a heat radiating plate that radiates heat transferred from the friction plate 40 through the belt pressing surface 31a into the cooling water chamber 35. The reinforcing plate 35 a that reinforces the cooling water chamber 35 inside the lower oval pressure applier 30 fulfills the function of maintaining the shape of the lower oval pressure applier 30 whose inside is hollow by the cooling water chamber 35. That is, a compressive force is applied in the vertical direction to the lower oval pressure applying body 30 that presses the endless belt 11 upward, but the reinforcing plate 35a resists this, and the lower oval pressure applying body 30 has its longitudinal length. It functions to prevent bending or bending in the direction.

  As described above, the belt pressing surface 31a on the lower surface of the belt pressing portion 31 of the lower oval type pressure applicator 30 is gradually worn and becomes uneven, resulting in meandering and uneven tension of the multi-slit strip strip a. Coil winding failure. Therefore, the next friction plate 40 is detachably mounted on the surface of the belt pressing surface 31a.

  The friction plate 40 is made of a thin metal plate having good thermal conductivity equal to or higher than that of the belt pressing portion 21 of the upper oval pressure applicator 20 and the belt pressing portion 31 of the lower oval pressure applier 30. The belt pressing portions 21 and 31 are detachably mounted on the belt pressing surfaces 21a and 31a. The friction plate 40 is in direct contact with the belt inner surface 1a of the endless belt 1 instead of the upper and lower belt pressing surfaces 21a, 31a, and the lower surface side of the upper belt pressing portion 21 and the upper surface side of the lower belt pressing portion 31. The belt pressing surfaces 21a and 31a that integrally form each of the belts have a function of preventing the belt pressing surfaces 21a and 31a from being worn directly.

  The friction plate 40 is mounted so as to be in close contact with the surfaces of the belt pressing surfaces 21a and 31a. Furthermore, when the slit strip plate a is pressed, the metal thin friction plate 40 strongly adheres to the surfaces of the belt pressing surfaces 21a and 31a due to the pressing force, so that the gap between the belt inner surface 1a of the endless belt 1 and the friction plate 40 is increased. The frictional heat generated in the step is smoothly transmitted from the friction plate 40 to the belt pressing surfaces 21a and 31a due to the close contact. Further, the friction plate 40 is attached to the belt pressing surfaces 21a and 31a as shown in FIG. 8, for example, by adhesion and fixing (see FIG. 8A), groove fitting and fixing (see FIG. 8B) or This is performed by any of screw fixing (see FIG. 8C).

  In the case of adhesive fixing (see FIG. 8A), the adhesive is attached to either or both of the front surface of the belt pressing surfaces 21a and 31a and the rear surface side that is the adhesive side of the friction plate 40. A material that does not disturb the thermal conductivity is used. Both ends of the friction plate 40 are thinner toward the tip so as not to damage the belt inner surface 11 a of the endless belt 11.

  Further, in the case of groove fitting and fixing (see FIG. 8B), the lower side of the belt reversing portion 23 and the belt pressing portion 31 that are in contact with the front and rear ends of the belt pressing portion 21 corresponding to the moving direction of the slit strip a. Engagement grooves 23a and 33a for fitting both end portions of the friction plate 40 are formed on the upper side of the belt reversing portion 33 that is in contact with both front and rear end sides. When the friction plate 40 is attached to the upper belt pressing surface 21a, the both ends of the friction plate 40 in the horizontal direction are slightly bent upward and fitted to the engagement grooves 23a. Similarly, when the friction plate 40 is attached to the lower belt pressing surface 31a, both ends of the friction plate 40 in the horizontal direction are slightly bent downward and fitted into the engagement grooves 33a. Even if the friction plate 40 is bent slightly, it is within the elastic range of the metal thin plate, and therefore, it adheres to the upper and lower belt pressing surfaces 21a and 31a after being mounted.

As shown in FIG. 9, both end portions of the friction plate 40 are processed at a constant inclination angle θ1 (for example, 45 degrees) at the tip portion 40d so that the friction plate 40 can be easily fitted into the engaging grooves 23a and 33a (see FIG. 9). 9 (B)). The inclination angle θ1 is preferably in the range of 30 to 60 degrees. Correspondingly, the same constant inclination angle θ2 (for example, the groove end portions 23b and 33b of the upper and lower engaging grooves 23a and 33a corresponding to the tip end portion 40d into which both end portions of the friction plate 40 are fitted, is also provided. The fitting groove is processed at a slightly larger angle than 45 degrees (see FIG. 9C). The inclination angle θ2 of the groove end portions 23b and 33b is an angle difference θ3 that is, for example, about 0.5 to 2 degrees larger than the inclination angle θ1 of the tip end portion 40d (see FIG. 9D).
That is, the inclination angle θ2> the inclination angle θ1.
In addition, the angle difference θ3 = θ2−θ1 = about 0.5 degrees to 2 degrees. This angle difference θ3 is necessary for the friction plate 40 to be easily engaged and fixed in the upper and lower engaging grooves 23a and 33a and securely fixed.

  Furthermore, in the case of screw fixing (see FIG. 8C), the lower side of the belt reversing portion 23 and the belt pressing portion 31 that are in contact with the front and rear ends of the belt pressing portion 21 corresponding to the moving direction of the slit strip a. Both ends of the friction plate 40 are bent along the inclined direction toward the upper side of the belt reversing portion 33 in contact with both the front and rear ends, and both ends of the friction plate 40 are fixed with screws 40b. Both end portions of the friction plate 40 are thinner toward the tip. If the fixing screw 40b is disposed in the intermediate gap between the endless belts 11, the rotation of the endless belt 11 is not hindered.

  The belt pressing portions 21 and 31 of the belt pressing portions 21 and 31 do not decrease the bending strength of the upper and lower elliptical pressure applying bodies 20 and 30 and also does not decrease the thermal conductivity for moving the frictional heat to the cooling water chambers 25 and 35. As a means for facilitating maintenance management due to uneven wear of the belt pressing surfaces 21a and 31a, a thin metal plate having a thickness of several millimeters (for example, about 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm) is provided on the friction surface of the belt pressing surfaces 21a and 31a. The friction plate 40 made of is arranged in a stacked manner.

  As described in [Background Art], the thickness between the belt pressing surfaces 21a and 31a and the belt pressing surface back surfaces 21b and 31b in contact with the cooling water chambers 25 and 35 in contact with the cooling water is the heat transfer and bending strength. In order to prevent overheating trouble of the endless belt 11 and enable continuous operation, the thickness is the same as before. Should be stopped. Therefore, paying attention to this polishing allowance, it is designed to be thinner than the conventional upper and lower elliptical pressure applying bodies 20 and 30 within the range of the polishing allowance, and the metal friction plate 40 corresponding to that is arranged in an overlapping manner. I thought of it. Further, in consideration of workability such as press bending and upper and lower elliptical pressure applying bodies 20 and 30, the frictional heat transfer loss due to the overlapping arrangement of the thin friction plates 40 is considered to be made of metal that is arranged in an overlapping manner. The thin friction plate 40 should be limited to a thickness of about 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm.

  Examples of the material of the metal thin plate used as the friction plate 40 include, for example, cold-rolled steel sheets and steel strips with good thermal conductivity (JIS G 3141) and copper and copper alloys with JIS standards (JIS H 3100). Cold rolled materials such as plates, JIS standard (JIS H 4000) aluminum and aluminum alloy plates can be used, but in any case, a bright finish material smoothed by a smooth finished roll is preferred and wear prevention is also provided. From the viewpoint of the above, a hard finish tempered material is preferable. Of course, in this case as well, there is a later-described lubricant 50 provided as necessary, and the lubricant 50 adhering to the belt inner surface 1a of the endless belt 1 lubricates the surface of the friction plate 40. When non-uniform tension due to wear or the like occurs, only the worn metal thin friction plate 40 can be easily replaced.

  As described above, the friction plate 40 is made of a thin metal plate having a thickness of, for example, about 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm. The thickness between the back surface side 21b and the total thickness of the friction plates 40 superimposed thereon are equal to or less than the thickness between the conventional belt pressing surface 21a and the belt pressing surface back surface side 21b. Similarly, the thickness of the upper surface of the lower oval pressure applicator 30 that generates frictional heat, that is, the thickness between the belt pressing surface 31a and the belt pressing surface back side 31b, and the total thickness of the friction plates 40 overlapped therewith are the same as those in the related art. The thickness is equal to or less than the thickness between the belt pressing surface 31a and the belt pressing surface back side 31b.

  The metal friction plate 40 sandwiched and pressed between the upper and lower elliptical pressure applying bodies 20 and 30 in order to generate a winding tension due to the frictional force of the belt inner surface 11a of the endless belt 1 has a belt pressing surface 21a, Since it is easily in close contact with the surface of 31a, the frictional heat generated by the winding operation of the slit strip a is cooled in the interior of the oval pressure applicators 20, 30 as in the case of the conventional integrated structure. Since the heat is transferred to the water chambers 25 and 35, the cooling effect is not lowered.

  In addition, the strength required to reduce the thickness corresponding to the polishing allowance of the conventional oval type pressure applicators 20 and 30 is ensured, and a metal thin friction plate 8 is provided on the surface of a similar pressing body box structure. Because of the overlapping configuration, the elliptical pressure applicators 20 and 30 do not have insufficient rigidity.

  When the surface of the friction plate 40 in direct contact with the belt inner surface 11a of the endless belt 11 is worn, the entire structure of the complicated and expensive oval pressure applicator 20 and 30 integrated with the cooling water chambers 25 and 35 is obtained. Instead of replacement, only the metal thin friction plate 40 needs to be replaced, and maintenance of the apparatus can be performed with a simple operation in a short time.

  By the way, the upper and lower endless belts 11 are pulled by the slit strip a while being pressed and clamped by the upper and lower elliptical pressure applying bodies 20 and 30 and are continuously rotated. It is necessary to round the corners of the oval-shaped pressure applying bodies 20 and 30 on the entry side and the exit side of the endless belt 11 so that the belt inner surface 11a is not damaged at the portion. In this case, the friction plate 40 made of a thin metal plate having a thickness of only a few millimeters can be easily bent by pressing. Therefore, curved portions 40d having roundness are provided on both sides of the friction plate 40 so that the inner side of the belt. Damage to the surface 11a can be prevented.

  The friction plate 40 is made of a material having good thermal conductivity equal to or higher than that of the belt pressing portion 21 on the upper surface of the belt pressing surface 21a and the belt pressing portion 31 on the lower side of the belt pressing surface 31a. It is configured. In this case, the upper and lower belt pressing portions 21 and 31 have a steel structure due to the necessity of minimizing the bending strength and the problem of welding workability of the sealed box structure for cooling water, but the material of the friction plate 40 is JIS-standard cold-rolled steel sheets, copper and copper alloy sheets, aluminum sheets, and other cold-rolled thin sheet materials having thermal conductivity equivalent to or better than the material of the upper and lower belt pressing portions 21 and 31 are commercially available and inexpensive. It is possible to select freely from materials.

  Further, the non-uniform lubrication or insufficient lubrication of the friction surface, which is one of the causes of the slip and meandering phenomenon of the endless belt 11 and the slit strip a, is the fate of the current arrangement and method of the lubricant 50 on the belt inner surface 11a. When the belt inner surface 11a contacts and rotates on the outer periphery of the elliptical drum, the lubricating component is eliminated and the lubrication component applied to the folded belt inner surface 11a is sufficient for the essential friction surface requiring lubrication. Since a satisfactory lubricating effect is not obtained, only the friction plate 40 itself or the surface side 40b thereof is made of a material having a lubricating effect.

  That is, the friction plate 40 is made of a metal thin plate on which a thin film (for example, about 0.5 mm thick) containing a self-lubricating component such as molybdenum, graphite or fluororesin is formed as a material of the friction plate 40. By constituting, it is also possible to produce a lubricating effect directly on the pressed friction surface without using the lubricant 50 on the separate belt inner surface 11a.

  The friction plate 40 may be a wide single plate that overlaps the entire longitudinal direction of the upper and lower belt pressing portions 21 and 31 (see FIG. 12A), but is the width corresponding to the width of each endless belt 1 (FIG. 12). (Refer to (B)), if it is divided into a width corresponding to the width of a plurality of endless belts 1 (see FIGS. 12C to 12E), the friction corresponding to some endless belts 1 that are frequently used. When the plate 40 is unevenly worn, only the corresponding friction plate 40 needs to be replaced, so that inexpensive and simple maintenance management is realized.

  A lubricant 50 for lubricating the belt inner surface 11a of the endless belt 11 is provided in the center of the belt guide portion 22 at the upper portion of the upper oval pressure applier 20 as necessary. Similarly, a lubricant 50 that lubricates the belt inner surface 11a of the endless belt 11 is provided in the center of the belt guide portion 32 at the lower portion of the lower oval pressure applier 30 as necessary.

  The lubricant 50 that directly lubricates the belt inner surface 11 a of the upper endless belt 11 is accommodated upward in a concave lubricant holder 22 a formed at the center of the belt guide portion 22. The lubricant 50 is accommodated so that the upper part protruding upward from the lubricant holder 22 a contacts the belt inner surface 11 a of the endless belt 11 that goes around the upper side of the belt guide portion 22.

  The lubricant 50 that directly lubricates the belt inner surface 11 a of the lower endless belt 11 is accommodated downward in a concave lubricant holder 32 a formed at the center of the belt guide portion 32. The lubricant 50 is accommodated so that the lower part of the lubricant 50 protruding downward from the lubricant holder 32 a contacts the belt inner surface 11 a of the endless belt 11 that goes around the lower side of the belt guide 32.

  That is, a lubricant 50 impregnated with a non-woven fabric or porous foam formed of a paraffin that is solid at room temperature and becomes liquid when the temperature rises beyond the melting point is placed in contact with the belt inner surface 11a side of the endless belt 11. Then, the impregnated paraffin is eluted by frictional heat generated by the rotation of the endless belt 11, and the belt inner surface 11a of the endless belt 11 is lubricated to reduce the friction coefficient. Since the belt inner surface 11a is lubricated while the endless belt 11 is rotated by the lubricant 50, it is not necessary to frequently stop the line to lubricate the belt inner surface 11a, and the lubricant 50 contributes to improvement of productivity. To do.

Next, the operation based on the configuration of the embodiment for carrying out the invention will be described below.
The surface of the belt pressing surface 21a located on the lower surface of the belt pressing portion 21 provided in the lower part of the upper elliptical pressure applicator 20 constituting the elliptical drum type multi-row endless belt type belt take-up tension applying device. The friction plate 40 is attached to the. Similarly, a friction plate 40 is mounted on the surface of the belt pressing surface 31 a located on the upper surface of the belt pressing portion 31 provided on the upper portion of the lower oval pressure applier 30.

  The friction plate 40 is mounted by any one of the above-described adhesive fixing, groove fitting fixing or screw fixing, for example. Further, the friction plate 40 to be mounted is a single wide plate according to the width of the slit band plate a, or is divided for each endless belt 1 or the endless belt 1. It may have been divided into multiple pieces. When the friction plate 40 is a single wide plate, the mounting operation is only required once. In the case where the friction plate 40 is a divided plate, when the friction plate 40 is replaced due to wear, only the worn friction plate 40 needs to be replaced, and the material cost is reduced.

  When the winding of the slit strip a is started, the upper and lower endless belts 11 are each paired with an upper ellipse by contact friction between the front and back surfaces of the moving slit strip a and the belt outer surface 11b of the upper and lower endless belts 11. The outer periphery of the mold pressure applying body 20 and the lower oval pressure applying body 30 circulates in a substantially oval state and circulates. At this time, the upper and lower endless belts 11 circulate independently with each other at the same speed together with the moving slit strips a without causing any slip.

  On the other hand, the friction plate 40 attached to the surface of the belt pressing surface 21a of the belt pressing portion 21 pressed against the oval pressure applying body 20 and the belt pressing portion 31 pressed against the lower oval pressure applying body 30. The frictional engagement between the surface of the friction plate 40 attached to the surface of the belt pressing surface 31a and the belt inner surface 11a of the upper and lower endless belts 11 by friction, that is, frictional engagement with the moving slit strip a The belt pressing portions 21 and 31 that press the belt inner surface 11a of the endless belt 11 that circulates in a substantially oval state perform a so-called brake function. The winding tension required for each slit strip a located between the strip endless belt strip winding tension applying device is generated.

  Further, friction heat generated by friction between the friction plate 40 attached to the belt pressing surface 21 a of the upper belt pressing portion 21 and the belt inner surface 11 a of the upper endless belt 11 passes through the friction plate 40 and the upper belt pressing portion 21. Is transmitted from the belt pressing surface 21 a to the belt pressing surface rear surface side 21 b, and a part thereof is further transmitted to the reinforcing plate 25 a of the cooling water chamber 25. Since the belt pressing surface back surface side 21b is the bottom surface side of the cooling water chamber 25 provided in the upper belt pressing portion 21 side, and the reinforcing plate 25a also serves as a heat radiating plate of the cooling water chamber 25, The frictional heat is cooled by the cooling water flowing through the cooling water chamber 25.

  Similarly, frictional heat generated by friction between the friction plate 40 attached to the belt pressing surface 31 a of the lower belt pressing portion 31 and the belt inner surface 11 a of the lower endless belt 11 is transmitted through the friction plate 40 to the lower belt pressing portion. 31 is transmitted from the belt pressing surface 31a of the belt 31 to the belt pressing surface back side 31b, and a part thereof is further transmitted to the reinforcing plate 35a of the cooling water chamber 35. The belt pressing surface back surface side 31b is the ceiling surface side of the cooling water chamber 35 provided inside the lower belt pressing portion 31 side, and the reinforcing plate 35a also serves as a heat radiating plate of the cooling water chamber 35. The frictional heat is cooled by the cooling water flowing through the cooling water chamber 35.

  Thus, the frictional heat generated by the friction between the friction plates 40 attached to the belt pressing surfaces 21a and 31a of the upper and lower belt pressing portions 21 and 31 and the belt inner surfaces 11a of the upper and lower endless belts 11 Heat is dissipated by the cooling water flowing through the cooling water chambers 25 and 35 provided in the upper and lower belt pressing portions 21 and 31 through the friction plate 40, so that the endless belt 11 is prevented from being overheated.

  Further, when the friction plate 40 is worn by directly pressing the belt inner surface 11 a of the endless belt 11, the worn friction plate 40 is applied to the belt pressing surface 21 a of the upper belt pressing portion 21 or the lower belt pressing portion 31. The belt is removed from the belt pressing surface 31a, and a new friction plate 40 is attached to the belt pressing surface 21a or the belt pressing surface 31a. Since this replacement work can be performed without removing the upper oval pressure applicator 20 or the lower oval pressure applicator 30 from the main body structure, the labor and time of the conventional replacement work and the cost of replacement are required. Can be greatly reduced.

  A friction plate 40 formed by bending a metal thin plate can be placed on the belt pressing surfaces 21a and 31a, and the surface side 40b of the friction plate 40 is formed of a sintered layer made of a material having a self-lubricating function. If the metal thin plate is used, the friction portion itself has a lubricating effect, so that the lubricant 50 on the separate belt inner surface 11a becomes unnecessary, and the maintenance work of the lubricant 50 after the primary stop of the line becomes unnecessary. Further, since there is no fluidized liquid lubricating oil, the accident of contamination of the endless belt 11 and the slit strip a is also eliminated.

  As shown in FIG. 12, if a friction plate 40 made of a thin metal plate divided into several endless belts is mounted on the belt pressing surfaces 21a and 31a, the friction plate 40 is mass-produced as a small standard part. In general, the cost of replacement parts is greatly reduced, and generally, the friction plate 40 near the center is heavily worn because the frequency of use near the center of the winding device is high. Only the friction plate 40 at the place can be replaced individually, and the merit in terms of maintenance management is also great.

This invention has been made in view of the above problem, which has been invented to solve the problems, it is an object of the metal to the belt pressing surface of the wear easy-length circular pressure imparting body by mounting the friction plate of thin, multi-start an endless belt capable of polishing work and replacement of these large-scale of the companion cormorants long circular pressure imparting body to the wear of the belt pressing surface to prevent wear of the belt pressing surface unnecessary An object of the present invention is to provide a device for applying a belt winding tension.

In order to achieve the above object, the invention of claim 1 includes a plurality of a pair of upper and lower endless belts sandwiching multiple slit strips from the upper and lower sides in the width direction of the slit strips. They were respectively the belt inner surface toward the upper and lower surfaces of the slit band sheet pressed and the frictional heat generated at the belt pressing surface that have a cooling water chamber for cooling the interior length circular pressure applying member of the upper and lower endless belts Placed inside the upper and lower endless belts, respectively, the above-mentioned elliptical pressure applicators are formed on the belt pressing part with a straight cross section that directly presses the inner surface of the endless belt, and on both ends of the belt pressing part. are side cross section and composed of a arcuate belt reversing part, the belt guide protrusions for dividing guiding each endless belt which is arranged in the belt reversing part is provided, the belt outside of the upper and lower of each endless belt The friction coefficient of the surface is made larger than the friction coefficient of the inner surface of the belt, each endless belt is driven by close engagement with each slit strip moving to the winding side, and integrated with each moving slit strip. Each endless belt is circulated independently, and the multi-endless belt belt winding tension is applied to the slit belt by the frictional force caused by the slip between the belt pressing surface and the belt inner surface of the endless belt. in applying apparatus, the engagement groove for fitting the end portions of the friction plate made of a thin metal plate having an upper Sulfur butterfly circular pressure applying member which is equal to or more than the good thermal conductivity, the movement of the slit strip When the friction plate is mounted on the belt pressing surface of the upper belt pressing portion, it is formed on each belt reversing portion that contacts the front and rear ends of the belt pressing portion corresponding to the direction. Bend the end side in an upwardly inclined direction, and attach the tip of the friction plate to the upper engaging groove. When attaching the friction plate to the belt pressing surface of the lower belt pressing portion, Bend in a downward inclined direction and fit into the lower engaging groove and attach, and both ends of the friction plate are machined at a fixed inclination angle so that both ends of the friction plate can be easily fitted into the engaging groove. The groove ends of the upper and lower engaging grooves corresponding to the front end portions to be fitted with are fitted into the groove ends with a constant inclination angle, and the inclination angle of each groove end portion is 0.5 to 2 degrees from the inclination angle of the front end portion of the friction plate. The frictional plate comprises means for detachably mounting the friction plate on the surface of the belt pressing surface of the oval pressure applicator.
As a preferred aspect of the first aspect, the friction plate is configured to be divided into a plurality of sections in accordance with the width of the endless belt. A thin film having a self-lubricating component was formed on the surface side of the friction plate.

According to the present invention comprising means for solving the problems, the friction plate system in which a metal thin plate is placed on the belt pressing surface has the following effects.
Since the friction plate has a material equal to or thermal conductivity than better that of且one long circular pressure imparting body by a metal sheet, be arranged to overlap not to reduce the cooling effect rapid heat transfer.
Since the friction plate is a thin metal plate, it is easy to shear and press-bend, so inexpensive parts can be realized.
Since the friction plate is a thin metal plate, the inner surface of the belt can be smoothly introduced and sent out to the clamping portion by bending both ends of the friction plate, thus preventing damage to the endless belt.
While the conventional steel structure from a welding issues needs and enclosure structure for cooling water to minimize the long circular pressure applying member flexes strength, material of the friction plate length circular pressure applying JIS standard cold-rolled steel sheets with a thermal conductivity equivalent to or better than the body material, and cold-rolled thin sheet materials such as copper and copper alloy sheets and aluminum sheets can be freely selected from commercially available inexpensive materials. It becomes.
Also, if a metal sheet with a coating film of a self-lubricating component such as molybdenum resin or graphite is used, there is no need to supply lubricant from the outside. It becomes unnecessary and maintenance inspection becomes very easy.
Since the metal thin plate is stacked on the belt pressing surface, the friction plate can be divided according to the width of the endless belt, and it can be easily replaced partially only on frictional parts where wear is severe. Maintenance costs are also low and can be replaced in a short time, improving productivity.
Regardless of the size of the tensioning device, the friction plate divided by the metal thin plate is stocked as a small and light common standard part, which is convenient for supply to users all over the world.
Thus, by arranging the metal thin friction plate so as to overlap the belt pressing surface, it is an epoch-making thing that a friction surface that can be easily replaced can be realized without lowering strength and thermal efficiency. When the friction surface is worn, it can be easily replaced in a short time with a friction plate prepared in advance, and maintenance and management of the apparatus can be easily and quickly performed without impeding production activities.
Also a very inexpensive replacement part by superimposing bending is easily possible thin metal plate to the long circular pressure imparting body by the press. Alternatively, by providing a self-lubricating function on one side of the friction plate with a coating of a sintered layer made of a fluororesin coated steel plate, molybdenum, graphite, etc., the lubrication between the pressed friction surface and the inner surface of the belt is sufficient and uniform and meanders And the problem of uneven tension are also eliminated. If the conventional external lubricant application device is not required, it is not necessary to stop the line operation during the slit operation and to check and replenish the lubricant, so that the productivity is remarkably improved.
Also, since it is not a method of applying lubricating oil to the inner surface of the belt, no oil or fat is attached to the belt, and as a result, the surface of the slit strip is not soiled and product loss is greatly helped in yield and quality improvement. It will be different.
In addition, by changing the friction plate to each belt width, or by dividing the width corresponding to multiple belt widths, it is possible to recover and maintain the initial performance by replacing only the friction plate of the part that was worn early, so maintenance management is also easy. There are extremely new and beneficial effects such as quick and very low maintenance costs.

It is a sectional side view of a conventional pulley-type multi-strip endless belt-type belt take-up tension applying device. It is a sectional side view of a conventional oval drum type multi-strip endless belt type belt take-up tension applying device.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically based on embodiments for carrying out the invention described in the drawings.
Since the multi-row endless belt-type belt take-up tension applying device has an elliptical drum system without a pulley, an elliptical drum system will be described in the embodiment.

1 to 9 , an elliptical drum type multi-strip endless belt strip winding tension applying device applies a predetermined winding tension to a slit strip plate a wound around a slit strip winding device (not shown). It is a device to be applied, and is installed in the middle of the movement path of the slit strip a on the near side of the slit strip take-up device (not shown).

The friction plate 40 is mounted so as to be in close contact with the surfaces of the belt pressing surfaces 21a and 31a. Furthermore, when the slit strip plate a is pressed, the metal thin friction plate 40 strongly adheres to the surfaces of the belt pressing surfaces 21a and 31a due to the pressing force, so that the gap between the belt inner surface 1a of the endless belt 1 and the friction plate 40 is increased. The frictional heat generated in the step is smoothly transmitted from the friction plate 40 to the belt pressing surfaces 21a and 31a due to the close contact. Further, the belt pressing surface 21a of the friction plate 40, mounted to the surface of 31a, as shown in FIG. 5, are performed in the groove fitting fixed.

Further, in the case of groove fitting and fixing (see FIG. 5) , the lower side of the belt reversing portion 23 and the front and rear ends of the belt pressing portion 31 that are in contact with the front and rear ends of the belt pressing portion 21 corresponding to the moving direction of the slit strip a. Engaging grooves 23a and 33a for fitting both end portions of the friction plate 40 are formed on the upper side of the belt reversing portion 33 in contact with the side. When the friction plate 40 is attached to the upper belt pressing surface 21a, the both ends of the friction plate 40 in the horizontal direction are slightly bent upward and fitted to the engagement grooves 23a. Similarly, when the friction plate 40 is attached to the lower belt pressing surface 31a, both ends of the friction plate 40 in the horizontal direction are slightly bent downward and fitted into the engagement grooves 33a. Even if the friction plate 40 is bent slightly, it is within the elastic range of the metal thin plate, and therefore, it adheres to the upper and lower belt pressing surfaces 21a and 31a after being mounted.

As shown in FIG. 6 , both end portions of the friction plate 40 are processed at a constant inclination angle θ1 (for example, 45 degrees) at the front end portion 40d so that the friction plate 40 can be easily fitted into the engaging grooves 23a and 33a (see FIG. 6 ) . 6 (B)). The inclination angle θ1 is preferably in the range of 30 to 60 degrees. Correspondingly, the same constant inclination angle θ2 (for example, the groove end portions 23b and 33b of the upper and lower engaging grooves 23a and 33a corresponding to the tip end portion 40d into which both end portions of the friction plate 40 are fitted, is also provided. The fitting groove is processed at a slightly larger angle than 45 degrees (see FIG. 6C ). The inclination angle θ2 of the groove end portions 23b and 33b is an angle difference θ3 that is, for example, about 0.5 to 2 degrees larger than the inclination angle θ1 of the tip end portion 40d (see FIG. 6D ).
That is, the inclination angle θ2> the inclination angle θ1.
In addition, the angle difference θ3 = θ2−θ1 = about 0.5 degrees to 2 degrees. This angle difference θ3 is necessary for the friction plate 40 to be easily engaged and fixed in the upper and lower engaging grooves 23a and 33a and securely fixed.

The friction plate 40 may be a wide single plate that overlaps the entire longitudinal direction of the upper and lower belt pressing portions 21 and 31 (see FIG. 9A ), but is the width corresponding to the width of each endless belt 1 ( FIG. 9 ) . (Refer to (B)), if it is divided into a width corresponding to the width of a plurality of endless belts 1 (see FIGS. 9C to 9E), the friction corresponding to some endless belts 1 that are frequently used. When the plate 40 is unevenly worn, only the corresponding friction plate 40 needs to be replaced, so that inexpensive and simple maintenance management is realized.

The friction plate 40 is mounted by fixing the groove as described above. Further, the friction plate 40 to be mounted is a single wide plate according to the width of the slit band plate a, or is divided for each endless belt 1 or the endless belt 1. It may have been divided into multiple pieces. When the friction plate 40 is a single wide plate, the mounting operation is only required once. In the case where the friction plate 40 is a divided plate, when the friction plate 40 is replaced due to wear, only the worn friction plate 40 needs to be replaced, and the material cost is reduced.

As shown in FIG. 9 , the friction plate 40 is mass-produced as a small standard part if a friction plate 40 made of a thin metal plate divided into several endless belts is mounted on the belt pressing surfaces 21a and 31a. In general, the cost of replacement parts is greatly reduced, and generally, the friction plate 40 near the center is heavily worn because the frequency of use near the center of the winding device is high. Only the friction plate 40 at the place can be replaced individually, and the merit in terms of maintenance management is also great.
